To search AA upgrades:
- Use the Award & Upgrade tool
- Only search for individual segments (set the "Connection Preference" drop-down to "Direct/Non-Stop only"). Flight results that are part of a connection won't show the upgrade version of C or A inventory because AA only files upgrade inventory as individual, not married, segments. (Married segments show revenue inventory instead of upgrade inventory.)
- To avoid confusion, check the "Exclude Codeshares" box, as AA awards and upgrades are not valid on codeshares.

Is there anyway to set up a flight alert for a married segment? Say if JFK-FRA-LHR shows J available on the flights individually but not when searched JFK-LHR.

EF is not showing BA Award and Upgrade in Business class. Look at May 19th YYC-LHR, according to the BA website there two seats available for redemption or upgrade, (business class) yet EF shows no availability for that flight. I am doing doing something wrong?

The issue of course is if I set up an alert, its not going to return the availability that is there.

The award inventory could have been taken by then. If you need further help please email us with the specifics.

If I want to check award space in LATAM, will it help to use the AA award space availability? They are both one world, code share some flights as well. Or will LATAM keep space only for their own flights and even if I see space in AA...it may not be available in LATAM? Thanks.

As far as searching SQ premium award space. Is this available through ExpertFlyer? Or, do I need to use the Singapore Air website? I've done several searches where I see availability on SQ's website, but not ExpertFlyer.
Also, I am getting time out issues on ExpertFlyer today on several of my searches.

A complete list of airlines for award searching is here: http://www.expertflyer.com/sessionlessClassList.do
Make sure you are using the Awards & Upgrades tool and not the Flight Availability when searching for awards and/or upgrades.
Here in the land of Aloha, I have no time out issues with EF.

For the information of other EF users who may see this thread: I've now encountered some similar issues with false negatives being returned on some (but not all) BA routes. LON-TXL and LHR-JNB are the two about which I've made specific reports to EF already, but of course there may well be more routes affected.
